Mel Blue – Sunshine

Mel Blue’s “Sunshine” is another dip into 2000s French House for the duo out of Sydney, and it is evident they had a lot of fun working on the project, as its a delightfully bright track that offers huge instrumentals and a world of exploration through sound.

Mia Moretti – Tambor

Mia Moretti’s “Tambor” is a pulsating new single that showcases the Los Angeles-based artist at her best: mixing together the worlds of rhythm, vocals (featuring Totó La Momposina), percussion and driving baselines to great a groovy dance anthem. As if this song doesn’t make you want to dance a little bit.

bumb – f.w.u

bumb · f.w.u

bumb’s “f.w.u” is a groovy, upbeat anthem doubling as a raunchy coming-of-age song that explores themes of finding your voice in a noisy city, while surviving a cost-of-living crisis… which is very timely. This carefree anthem is a beautiful piece on multiple levels: from the vocals, to the instrumentals, you’re getting a sense of comfort across the board.

Pacific Sunsets – Jalama

Pacific Sunsets’ “Jalama” is a beautiful song that explores the soul of someone who is very artistic yet deprived of true freedom. The three-minute plus song gradually builds from its acoustic opening to an offering wholesome lyrical guide throughout.

Totally Slow – Crosshairs

Totally Slow’s new single “Crosshairs” comes off the release of their upcoming album, which will be released in early 2024. In the meantime, though, you’re getting a song that is full of frantic energy all rolled into a tightly-tuned punk anthem.

Glimmer – Place in the Sun

Formed earlier this year, NY-based band Glimmer’s second single “Place in the Sun” is full of layers of heavy, fuzzed-out guitars with dreamy reverb for a sound that incorporates elements of grunge, shoegaze, and ’90s college rock.

jeniverse – self love

jeniverse’s first single “self love” is a self-penned and produced anthem that not only offers nostalgic energy but also the depths of personal emotion. With lyrics drawn from her journal, jeniverse reflects on the struggles of self-doubt, and the pressures of navigating life with anxiety all wrapped up into this 2-minute track.

The Sarandons – The Great Divide

The Sarandons · The Great Divide

The Sarandons’ “The Great Divide” is one of the few darkest and heaviest songs from the band’s back catalog. It’s also one of the most stripped down songs they have recorded. “It’s pretty much the five of us playing, with very little if any double tracking and not much instrumental overdub,” the band says about the song. “By pulling things out of the mix and having verses, for example, just as bass, drums and vocal, things can really feel big and explosive.”

Louise Lemón – Tears as Fuel

Louise Lemón · Tears as Fuel

Louise Lemon’s Tears as Fuel is her at her best: showcastingn the ability to conjure beauty from disparity with her dark and honest lyrics. The brooding aesthetic – enchanting and eerie give a glimpse into Louise’s ethereal voice, over the top of deep piano instrumentation. It’s a beautiful song.
